Considering the internet has made it so easy to get a car at a "best price", surpised this line of work would be so flippant towards the few uninformed customers they have left.

Most places have just stopped haggling on new cars. I find their used cars are close to the right price.

From what I understand with the supply chain crisis, is that dealers are pretty much getting near sticker anyway.

In these parts, New car dealers usually have no more than 10 new cars per lot.
